Many fans on Eric Chavez post-back operations said the same thing. Considering Sizemore just turned 30 there's worse gambles for the price. Throw in that he's probably not the guy they plan to build their offseason around and it's a common sense move. He wasn't even all that bad offensively in 2011, the last time he played (.200 IsoSLG, 21 doubles, 10 HRs in 268 PAs).

I don't even like his peripherals from the last time he played. He hit all of homeruns early, struck out at career high levels and walked at career lows. Seems like someone over compensating for something.

Grady Sizemore's agent, Joe Urbon, confirmed that his client had microfracture surgery on his right knee in September.
Oh boy. Sizemore previously had microfracture surgery on his left knee in 2010, but his right knee has given him all sorts of problems over the past couple of years. The oft-injured 30-year-old had attracted interest from multiple clubs this offseason, but it's unlikely he'll be ready to contribute until around midseason

Worth a free flier? Sure. Expectations? Literally nothing.

I think you're way too far out on that branch. No expectations on a guy who didn't play last year and has been injured for a few years now? :gasp:

I just want to get a couple players that I dont consider "flippable assets". Players with some L-T projectablity with this team.

I had no idea that he was already 30 years old! I remember when he came into the league and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

Totally agree - Every time you sign a player to flip for a prospect that prospect is a couple years away from helping if they ever can help. Time to put more focus on the major league over putting most your resources to the minors.
